Run-Flat Recommendations
My '04 3.0i Z4 is scheduled to arrive on Friday and needs new tires pretty-much ASAP. I've been following the threads on Michelin Pilot Super Sports, which sound like phenomenal tires, but just realized (while ordering a set with TireRack) that they aren't run-flats.
Since I'm not entirely comfortable travelling without a spare I think I want to stick to run flats. Can I get some suggestions? Do Pilot Sport PS2s really suck that badly? Help. I need to order by COB tomorrow to have them to my mechanic for installation on Monday. |

Okay, I did some research and now realize that there are ways to prevent being stranded due to a flat (e.g. Conti-Comfort kit, Slime Tire Repair Kit) and with my horizons now expanded I think I'm punting on run-flats.
What are the thoughts on these repair kits though? And yes I know about possible TPS sensor damage. -And- With mostly street use are Pilot Super Sports overkill? Or put another way are they worth 1/3 more than V12s?? Any info is greatly appreciated!! |

This is going to be a very short thread.
Just talked to Jake at TireRack who talked me out of run-flats, spoke very highly of V12s and sold me a set along with a Conti Comfort kit. Total price with shipping was $758. I also checked - I've got roadside assistance with my auto policy. |

What is a conti comfort kit?
I've had pss' on my car for a few months now - even with mostly casual city driving, I love them, and don't think I could ever go back. |

Conti Comfort Kit = Peace of mind when you're not carrying a spare.
